Answer:
Option C is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that four neighborhood children opened their own lemonade stand. The sales by the four were as follows:
A. 1⁄2
B. 4⁄7
C. 3⁄4
D. 7⁄12
We cannot compare these sales as such since they have different denominators.
To compare we find the Least common denominator for all the four first.
2,7,4,12 have lCD = 12(7) = 84
Now make equivalent fractions for all the four.
A. 1⁄2 = 42/84
B. 4⁄7 = 48/84
C. 3⁄4 = 63/84
D. 7⁄12 = 49/84
Now since denominator is the same we compare and find that
C =63/84 is the largest value.
Hence Option C is the answer.
